 Christmas
in Ireland: An Nollaig in Éireann
The acclaimed Irish ensemble
Danú celebrates a traditional Irish Christmas with An Nollaig in
Éireann. Celtic music lovers around the globe have been thrilled by the
ensemble’s virtuoso players on fiddle, flutes, button accordion, percussion
and the gorgeous voice of Muireann Nic Amhlaoibh. Winner of major awards
from the BBC and Irish Music Magazine, Danú returns to the US in
December 2009 with special guests and a glorious celebration of Christmas
from their homeland.
In Ireland, the festival of
Christmas has for centuries been celebrated by traditional Irish music and
song. There are many musical tributes that pay homage to early Irish
traditions such as The Laden Table, placing a candle in a window, and
touring from house to house on St.Stephen’s Day. Adding another dimension to
this beautiful program, Danú has also created a set of songs to be
performed in each community with a local choir. An Nollaig in Éireann
is a Celtic music celebration that warms the heart.
